Neonatal inclusion conjunctivitis in Australia.
Trachoma has been known to occur in Australia since the latter part of the 9gth century. Laboratory confirmation was first made by Rodger and Priestley (19I5), who studied cases of trachoma in Western Queensland and found characteristic inclusions within conjunctival epithelial cells. This work was reported 8 years after the original description of cell inclusions in trachoma by Halberstaedter ...
متن کاملExperiments on the Cultivation of so Called Trachoma Bodies
1. An organism was isolated and studied in pure cultures from cases of conjunctivitis accompanied by the so called trachoma body inclusions, as well as from a case of old trachoma without inclusions. 2. This organism was not found in the cultures made from other forms of conjunctivitis in which the inclusions were absent. 3. The organism presents the morphological features characteristic of so ...
متن کاملSome properties of the polysaccharide from cell cultures infected with TRIC agent (Chlamydia trachomatis).
The polysaccharide, elaborated in trachoma-inclusion conjunctivitis (TRIC) agent inclusions, was isolated from baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells grown and infected in suspension cultures. It was characterized by physical, chemical and enzymic methods as a glycogen with an average chain length of 14 to 16 glucose units.
متن کاملCytology as a guide to the presence of chlamydial inclusions in Giemsa-stained conjunctival smears in severe endemic trachoma.
Microscopical examination of 927 Giemsa-stained conjunctival smears from children with chronic trachoma in southern Tunisia showed 93 (10 per cent.) with typical trachoma (chlamydial) inclusions in epithelial cells. The accompanying cytological features were a useful indicator for inclusions. Inclusions were found only in slides with numerous polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and separation ...
متن کاملStaining of the inclusion bodies of trachoma and inclusion conjunctivitis.
THE first description of the inclusion bodies of trachoma was made by Halberstaedter and von Prowazek following the examination of Giemsa-stained scrapings from the conjunctivae of baboons which had been inoculated with secretions from trachomatous patients (cf. Julianelle, 1938). Since then Giemsa and its modifications have held prime place as a means of demonstrating these structures and this...
